Because of small holdings are turning down poor

Most of the people of India were living in villages and haed been dependents on farming and becase of division of holdings in children, now most of the families of farmers have turned holders of small pieces of land and these small holdings are not providing them with suitable income. They are now poor people and there is no other opportunities are available and therefore, most of the people from rural areas have turned down poor. The big land holders too have shifted to cities and their land pieces are given on contract and most of the farmers who are not holding their own land now are working on these pieces of lands of big holders and living poor life.

We have noted that at times government had to provide these poor farmers with waving of loans, providing free electricity and other subsidies just to allow them live on.

The only remedy is now that the Bi8lls coming on farms must provide for laws to set up big corporatelike Cooperative Societies and all small holders must come under the Cooperative societies. Big corporatelike cooperative units are the only remedy because small holders cannot provide all facilities of science and technology and these big corporatelike cooperative societies must establish other units like foodgrain processings units, vegitable processing units, paper miolls, dairies, poultry farms, meat processing units, egg processing units, milk factories, big kitches, cattle breeding units, establish their own training units which may train yo0uths for employment in these corporatelike units and in this way most of the youths shlal be getting employment in the societies.

The people from he oppositionsides shall be coming up with Farm-Bills and need of the time is that there must be provisions of farming corporatelike cooperative societies of small holders having all rights of ownership and membership and even employment in these units and get profits too. Small holdings are not suitable units in these days of science and technology. These corporatelike cooperative societies shall be having proper accounts and they shall themselves coming up in fixing MSP of their products like corporate houses and shall be out of losses. Even they shall be establishing their own stores and supply units.

Big holders who have given land on contract to small farmers too must join these corporatelike cooperative societies and may also get employment holding ownership rights.. Small units sstem must go because those units cannot meet the demands of present society and cannot come up with suitable income.
